Matters Arising

(not on the agenda elsewhere)

Correspondence

Vicar's Update

  • Feedback on Easter Services
  • More printing of flyers in publicity
  • Confirmation
  • Admission to Holy Communion

Fabric Update

One Oldham Fund Application

The paperwork has not yet come through, so we are not able to spend money.

Chairs, Armchairs & Dollies

An AI-generated mockup of a proposed colour scheme will be available to view.

Sub-floor

Permission under List B has been granted to complete this work. However, we will need also to make a new application for additional elements.

Plaster Removal

Work above the Chancel Arch, Sanctuary Arch, and Organ Chamber

Plans and Specification will be circulated with the calling notice for this meeting.

Proposal:

The PCC approves the application for work on the roof above the Chancel and Sanctuary Arches under List B

Pre-applications were been made to the War Memorials Trust for work on, around and above the East Window; and for work to the leaking roof above the organ chamber. Unfortunately, this is not eligible.

An application will also be made to the Diocesan Building Fund for £20,000. This must be matched one to one, but could potentially be matched with One Oldham monies; and other grants we could apply for.

Feasibility Study for Reorder

Disposal of Pipework & Water Heater in Kitchen

Plumbing Repairs

Annual Report and Annual Parochial Church Meeting

Proposal:

The PCC is happy to present the Report and Accounts to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting

Succession Planning

A congregation member has applied for the Parish Administration component of the Lay Ministry Course run by the Diocese.

Future Agenda Items

Possible Fabric Projects:

  1. The Joiner has offered, that if we provide the glass, cut to size, he can put glass panels in the doors from porch (a) into community room; (b) into church. This shouldn't cost a lot, as the door frames would remain in situ, and also be repainted. (added May 2025)
  2. Commission plans (and possibly grants for plans) to Landscape the flower bed at the bottom of paved area.
